Your pet's loving best friend! :)

Pet care experience

I know you must miss your babies when you're away! I will provide as many updates/photos as you would like! I want to make it a good experience for both you and your pet so please let me know what you both need. I have many blankets and toys at home :) I have taken care of dogs for a long time. I have fostered many dogs from the local shelter, ranging from puppies to seniors of all sizes. I am familiar with administering medication or giving a special diet. I am very active and love taking walks around the neighborhood on a trail. I am very flexible with my time, reliable, and responsible. I can accommodate your needs!

My dog is not the most behaved and we were worried about leaving him with a doggy sitter, but Marion did an amazing job handling him!!! My dog is a special needs dog as well, so had to have meals and medications at certain times and intervals and she did great handling that. She was aware my dog has seizures so was super attentive and caring for him every minute of the day. Lots of pictures and updates. Never complained once and always happy and responsive. Best doggy sitter ever!

We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with Marion from the get go…and over the holidays. She provided the perfect amount of updates, especially regarding settling in and mealtimes (which is what we were concerned with). We loved sharing her photos and videos with our travel partners, made us smile throughout the day. 100% recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced yard at home with grass and lots of plants. There is a trail right next to my house that me and my dog love to go on! I have a crate for a big and small dog available if needed. I have many different types of leashes and harnesses if needed. I have a two-story home with the downstairs being completely hardwood or tile and the upstairs being carpet. Your pet is allowed upstairs! There is a lot of room for zoomies both inside and in the backyard. Usually, there is always someone at home, but if not, they will stay inside the house until we return! I always like leaving bones or lick mats for them to enjoy until we get back.

Information Marion S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet(s) have any special diets, needs, or behaviors I should be aware of. I want them to be very comfortable when you are away! I would also love to know what kind of treats and toys they enjoy! If they like frozen KONGs or lick mats, let me know ahead of time and I will try to make them one!

A typical day

I would love to take your dog(s) on a walk around the neighborhood! There is a trail that goes along a creek and many parks near my house so there are lots of different smells for them! I also have lick mats, a snuffle mat, KONGs, stuffed toys, tennis balls, squeaky toys, and a rope toy for them to enjoy! We also have a window, TV, and shaded area outside if they love to watch! Just let me know what your pet prefers! My backyard and home is spacious enough to accommodate any zoomies that may occur!
